The match officials for Leeds United’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Oxford United on Good Friday have been announced, with Dean Whitestone set to take charge at the Kassam Stadium.
The encounter will be the official’s 27th appearance of the campaign so far, with 22 of those coming in the Sky Bet Championship.
Having overseen the Whites’ recent victory on home soil over Millwall last month, Leeds have now won five and drawn four of their 13 matches involving Whitestone.
Prior to that 2-0 triumph over the Lions, the Northamptonshire-based official took charge of United’s away win over Coventry City, by the same scoreline, back in February.
Oxford, meanwhile, have a mixed record in 15 fixtures refereed by Whitestone, winning six and also losing six.
Most recently, the Yellows were victorious, however, with a 1-0 success over Stoke City earlier on in the season.
